Proofreading
Proofreading is the process of checking a manuscript for typos, repeated words, spelling errors, proper word usage, and punctuation. Proofreading is performed at the end of the writing process, after rewrites are completed, and requires only one read-through.

I recommend hiring a professional editor who has not already edited the manuscript to perform the final proofread. Hiring more than one trained editor to review your manuscript decreases the chances of a stray typo from slipping through to the final book.
